Command execution via unsanitized Electron chat content
Published Jun 2, 2025 · Updated Jun 2, 2025
Cross-site scripting in alexpinel Dot 0.9.3 and earlier allows local users to execute system commands through crafted chat content. The chat renderer assigns user messages and parsed LLM responses to innerHTML in src/render.js without sanitization. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled chat or document content to reach an Electron window with Node integration enabled, granting command execution with the application user's privileges.
